People hated it when it came out on theatres and I can see why
But, I can't be angry with it.
Yeah, the characters aren't that developed, the story is predictable, many jokes aren't that funny (some of them a bit awkward) but I feel like the script, even with the generic and cliché plot, has effort and tries to entretain in a good way. It pleases the fans with references, it does have a few laughs, the animation looks fantastic with the budget they had and the voice acting is a great work.
It's a weak but still harmless and charm-ish movie.

REPUBLICAN BU******!
A complete waste of money, time and intelligence.
The movie is filled of American clichés, sick to death stereotypes, akwkard themes including phedophilia, one dimensional characters, lackluster action, bland acting and so many stupid and repetitive elements from the past films.
It's the exact and same movie but worse.
God help us and please make Transformers 5 a box office bomb. These movies are killing action films.

People love this film, but for me it's just a average.
While the action scenes, the CGI (for the most part), the scenes of Darth Vader and the explanations about the death star are great, the characters aren't as memorable as the original movies. They don't seem to be invested in this film. Also the story (between the first and second act) its unnecessary slow and the acting looks kinda of dull, and I think it is because the director Gareth Edwards, the acting doesn't present that much emotion or emphathy for the main protagonists.
The director might be a good visual director, but just like Zack Snyder, he's not as good directing actors.
5.7/10
